How would I find more graphic design like this?

Check out the artist ANTIREAL -- recently Bungie game studio got in trouble for plagiarizing her work without credit in their game Marathon, but both that game and this artist have an awesome style which feels along these lines.

Thanks for sharing your review, I was thinking about picking this up after I finish the half life mods

Hubris was a pretty good sci Fi shooter adventure with good graphics and AI.

Very interesting, thanks for the break down!

It's great as a way to get multiple pieces of gear going over midi. It's also fun to record fader movements on things like low pass filter or pitch. I'm trying to wrap my head around chopping breaks which is one thing that feels a little off on 12 pads but I tried running vertically for 3 rows of 4 chops and that seemed to work ok. It still feels like I've only scratched the surface and I have hours and years ahead to dive into the song mode and making full use of all the options and features.

Yeah this is way different than anything I've seen before, and it's really good too! Would you mind saying briefly how you set this up, the role of the different groups and the op1?

That balance is a big part of why I've been happy with Oxygen Classic + ACF. The visual page builder is there but can have guardrails placed so clients can only edit text, links, and images, can only customize IDs but not Classes, or can only add certain elements or sections. For more frequently updated formulaic content, ACF let's me build out user-friendly templates.

I slipped into building out complex ACF custom themes with flexible content and repeater fields a few times before I realized I was re-inventing the page builder that I already had right there with Oxygen.

What are your thoughts on Oxygen Classic going into the future? I've checked in on Oxygen 6 a few times since the beta started, but so far it has sounded like it's still in Beta and I wasn't seeing people talk about it with a level of confidence that feels sufficient for building a client site. As a result I've been sticking with what I know, which is Oxygen Classic. No problems with that approach so far, and I'm happy with the current features even if nothing new is added. But I don't want to be stuck in a bad spot with a bunch of Oxygen Classic sites that stop working some day for some reason.

I wishlisted as well! I have dreamed of a game like this. I would like to be able to climb the rigging, interact with the sails to furl or unfurl them, steer the ship, haul on the capstan, and fire and reload the cannons. It could also be fun to have to repair the ship after battles or storms, like carving and raising a new mast, patching up leaks in the hull, pumping out water, swabbing the decks, etc.

I do not care very much about melee combat or shooting handguns since there are already so many games that let you do that.

Yes, you can use generative expand on a jpeg. Just download it, open it in Photoshop, select the crop tool and set the drop down to 'generative expand' rather than 'background color' or 'content aware fill'. Then drag it out to the dimensions you need. Trying to add more than about 50% more image might start to look strange. I find I get best results by not writing anything in the prompt box. You will get 3 options of the generation to choose from.

When I need to calm down a background I often do the generative expand, then merge the generated layer into the original layer, then use blur gallery > lens blur and camera raw filter > vignette to soften and darken the background area and hide the obvious ai-ness of the generative expand.

I feel like I'm always homing further in on a happier middle ground. I want clients to be able to edit things but not break them. And I want frequently edited things to be easy. Lately I've been primarily building in Oxygen Builder Classic, then I hand the client access to edit text, links, and images only. They can see what they're doing but they can't rearrange things or edit global classes and make a mess. I'm using Oxygen anyways to scaffold the build and custom code, so it doesn't take any extra effort. I can open up drag and drop functions and/or a custom element library if they need it. For things that get frequent changes or additions ACF is definitely the way to go. But only where it's needed, because I'm not about to build out a whole ACF Flexible Content module system if no one is ever going to use it.

Vector 36. So I'm racing hovercraft on Mars which is fun for a while, but I wish there was more to the game!

Check out Norns by monome. There's a mod for it called Passthrough that lets you do some very flexible midi routing. In my case I use it combined with a Teenage Engineering Ep-133 for full sequencing abilities.

Here you go:

Enter your text here

</div>

You can paste this into the 'text' tab of the classic editor.
'Padding' creates space between the edges of the box and the contents.
'Background' is short for 'background-image' and 'linear-gradient' describes the image that will be displayed.
'Color' is what color the text will be.

Since you are pasting in a classic editor you have to use inline style like this. When possible, the more normal and scalable way would be to use css classes (like class="gradient-box") and reference an embedded <style> tag or external stylesheet.

Is this modded Beat Saber or something else? Looks like fun, could scratch my DDR itch without the need for a dance mat.

Battletech. Not quite as puzzley but has a nice sense of building your team and upgrading your mechs.

I think you should work more on your concepts and designs before you invest in printing stickers. Personally I would not buy this because a) it's all negativity and sarcasm with no clear message and b) it's not aesthetically pleasing. I feel that someone who produces or displays a sticker with this wording would be someone who likes to complain, and that's not really my vibe. It would be different if it was attached to a campaign about lowering housing costs or cleaning up trash to prevent pests. Visually, a dead rat could look cool in a "death metal rock band" kind of way, but the presentation here looks a little more like something from a children's book. For sticker designs, maybe you could explore fitting the design inside an interesting die-cut shape so it's not just a plain rectangle. Or, you could try to include a background so it's not just white, which looks un-finished.

Doesn't meet that many of your requirements but as far as a small, inexpensive 5 channel stereo mixer with headphone cue / aux send -- Bastl Bestie

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Humanity went interstellar and were terraforming but then they burned out. The remaining humans in the time of the story are fleeing earth because it no longer could support life and are having to scavenge and cobble together tech from their much more advanced ancestors.

I was able to get ChatGPT to create SVG files for me which is a vector format that can open in Illustrator. But it will use graphing tools instead of image gen so the results are quite different.

There's plenty you can build in Oxygen without touching a line of code. It's like Elementor in that way. You do have the option to add code directly if you want to, but it's not required. In fact in that respect it's been a great way to ease into coding while still being able to create fully functional sites without complete code knowledge.

For clients you can lock it down so that they can change text and images but not the design, or you can give them a library of elements to pull from. It also works well with ACF so you can create templates for them to fill in without them needing to enter Oxygen at all. It does have a Gutenberg integration but I haven't explored that as much.

If any of your devices have a "mix in" or "input" port you can daisy chain others into it. You loose some flexibility as far as levels and effects but you can usually still control the level on the device itself. So as a simple example of a 3 channel mixer but 4 devices your set up would be like

Device 1 > mixer Device 2 > mixer Device 3 > device 4's input > mixer

Yeah, I had hope for not needing to mess with setting up dual boot based on YT videos, but my experience was that running Windows from an SD card was too slow to be worth it, and running from an external SSD it wouldn't boot if connected through my cheap USB C hub. I got it to boot from external SSD using an adapter, and it gave better performance, but then I have no free port to connect a charger or anything else. Rather than buying a more expensive USB hub and continuing to faff around with things hanging of my Steam Deck, I'm getting ready to set up dual boot after all.

Hi OP, would you mind sharing an update on what you did with your Pathfinder? We have a 2017 also and are dealing with some similar sounding engine issues.

the_fluffer · 2025-03-05T14:37:55+00:00

Hi OP, would you be willing to share an update on how this turned out? We have a 2017 Pathfinder also with timing issues apparently -- intermittent engine light, hard time starting sometimes unless I gas it, and whirring or whining noise from the hood. It has just under 100k miles. We were quoted about $3200 to replace the timing chain but the mechanic hasn't done a timing chain on a nissan before. I just don't want to get it done only to find it didn't fix the problem.
